CONTAINER FOR LIQUID CLEANING COMPOUNDS.

Application filed June 9,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK E. VronnnY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Davenport,-in the county of Scott and State of lowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Container tor Liquid Cleaning Compounds, of which the following is a specification. 7

My invention has reference to a container for liquid cleaning compounds, the chief purpose thereof being to provide a suitable receptacle for the compound, and a cleaning device for applying the same to the surface of an object which is to be cleaned or polished, which cleaning device is adapted for attachment to the receptacle in such a manner that the same will always'be ready for use.

In the drawings:

Fig, 1 is a vertical sectionot the invention, when in use.

Fig. 2 is a planlview thereof, with the cleaning device secured in place on the receptacle.

The reference number 1 indicates a receptacle, of cylindrical form, provided with a neck 2, adapted to receive a cap 3,'shown in broken lines in Fig. 2. The contents of the receptacle may be removed by the cleaning device, comprising a wire 4, provided at one end with a swab 5, and at the other end with a ring member 6, capable of encircling the neck 2, and being held in place thereon by the cap 3. The ring 6 is preferably pro vided with an opening, so that it can be hooked over the edge of the neck, when temporarily out of. use, as shown in Fig. 1. By

inserting the swab 5. in the container it becomes saturated with the contents thereof, which can then be applied to the surtace to 1924. Serial No. 718,843.

be cleaned, and afterwards spread around and rubbed dry by some suitable material,

I hen a number of the cans l are packed together for shipment or storage the projecting parts of the wires 4 will nest readily alongside the necks of cans adjacent to those with which they are connected. There is no danger of loss thereof while the containers are being shipped, as would be, the case it the cleaning (lQVlCGSWGlG placed separately in the package, and with a little care when putting the cleaner away after using, the person using the same can depend upon having the cleaning device always ready for use.

Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1 In con'ibination with a receptacle for a liquid cleaning compound, having a neck of reduced diameter, and cap therefor, a cleaning device, comprising a wire member, provided at one end with aswab, and at the opposite end with a ring, capable of encircling said neck, and being held in place by said cap. 4

In combination with a cylindrical receptacle, provided with a neck of reduced diameter,-and closure therefor, a cleaning device, comprising a wire member, provided at one end with a swab,- capable of being passed through the opening in said neck, and a ring member at the opposite end of said. wire member, forming a handle therefor, capable 0t encircling said neck, and having an opening permitting the same to be hung over the edge of said neck.

In testimony whereof I atl'ix my signature.
